The qapi_event_send_FOO() functions emit events like this:
QMPEventFuncEmit emit;
emit = qmp_event_get_func_emit();
if (!emit) {
return;
}
qmp = qmp_event_build_dict("FOO");
[put event arguments into @qmp...]
emit(QAPI_EVENT_FOO, qmp);
The value of qmp_event_get_func_emit() depends only on the program:
* In qemu-system-FOO, it's always monitor_qapi_event_queue.
* In tests/test-qmp-event, it's always event_test_emit.
* In all other programs, it's always null.
This is exactly the kind of dependence the linker is supposed to
resolve; we don't actually need an indirection.
Note that things would fall apart if we linked more than one QAPI
schema into a single program: each set of qapi_event_send_FOO() uses
its own event enumeration, yet they share a single emit function.
Which takes the event enumeration as an argument. Which one if
there's more than one?
More seriously: how does this work even now? qemu-system-FOO wants
QAPIEvent, and passes a function taking that to
qmp_event_set_func_emit(). test-qmp-event wants test_QAPIEvent, and
passes a function taking that to qmp_event_set_func_emit().
It works by type trickery, of course:
typedef void (*QMPEventFuncEmit)(unsigned event, QDict *dict);
void qmp_event_set_func_emit(QMPEventFuncEmit emit);
QMPEventFuncEmit qmp_event_get_func_emit(void);
We use unsigned instead of the enumeration type. Relies on both
enumerations boiling down to unsigned, which happens to be true for
the compilers we use.
Clean this up as follows:
* Generate qapi_event_send_FOO() that call PREFIX_qapi_event_emit()
instead of the value of qmp_event_set_func_emit().
* Generate a prototype for PREFIX_qapi_event_emit() into
qapi-events.h.
* PREFIX_ is empty for qapi/qapi-schema.json, and test_ for
tests/qapi-schema/qapi-schema-test.json. It's qga_ for
qga/qapi-schema.json, and doc-good- for
tests/qapi-schema/doc-good.json, but those don't define any events.
* Rename monitor_qapi_event_queue() to qapi_event_emit() instead of
passing it to qmp_event_set_func_emit(). This takes care of
qemu-system-FOO.
* Rename event_test_emit() to test_qapi_event_emit() instead of
passing it to qmp_event_set_func_emit(). This takes care of
tests/test-qmp-event.
* Add a qapi_event_emit() that does nothing to stubs/monitor.c. This
takes care of all other programs that link code emitting QMP events.
* Drop qmp_event_set_func_emit(), qmp_event_get_func_emit().
